              Welcome to Backyard Science, where you can see science projects created together by students at New Scotland Elementary School and students at The College of Saint Rose. These projects help us learn about our local environment.

              Is science in our backyards and in our schoolyards? Yes it is! We can learn about science by investigating the earth, the wind, the water, the weather, the plants, and the animal allies in our neighborhood.

              As you will see, this site was built collaboratively by the 21 pre-service teachers at The College of Saint Rose!
